OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

Yeah, a good veteran QB connects on that throw 99% of the time.

99%???? Jesus Christ himself doesn't have a 99% completion rate.

It was a tough deep throw, and good QB's connect at a 65% clip. Jennings was coming out of a double move. It was a difficult throw. Watch the tape.

Double move or not, Rodgers had all day to throw that ball, and Jennings was so open it was even funny. Trust me, really good veteran QB's hit that throw 99% of time. I just watched the film. It's a double move, it's a timing pattern, and the QB had all day. No excuse to not hit that throw.

Sorry, I don't trust you. 99% is just your opinion, and one that I consider ridiculous.

I think Favre might have thrown 6 interceptions against that Cards defense, just like he did against St. Louis in one of his earlier playoff choke jobs.

[Zool]

Face it you don't like Favre, You have no sense of LOYALITY! What does a MAN who gave EVERTHING he had to give to a team, a city a state, have to prove anythng to a punk like you.

Who does he play for again? You wanna grab a Websters and look up loyalty?

Or a nice lob up in the air to a cards defender without a receiver within 20 yards.

How many of those guys made $12M last year. Their leader let them down.

This is not Detroit man, THIS IS THE SUPERBOWL!

Thought you were talking about Adrian Peterson for a second there. The guy who was the cause of two fumbles in teh game, both in saints territory. I am not saying I wanted the vikings to win and I know it may sound that way, but Favre played a pretty good game. He threw the int, but his teammates fumbled the ball on seemingly every possesion in the second half. Litterally, the vikings kept going back to Favre, a guy who was barely able to get himself up off the ground in the 4th quarter, kept saying "win it for us brett" - he kept driving them, and his teammates kept handing it right back. You can only go to the Brett Favre well so much before he is bound to make a mistake. The vikings went to it the entire 2nd half and for the most part, he performed.

Hard to say he let them down. Did you see the lockerroom stuff after the game, when every player on the vikings went up to favre? I am fairly certain not a single vikings player in that locker room is blaiming their "leader" for that loss. They were sitting there thanking him for the ride and asking him for one more. Making sure he was okay from the beat down his OL allowed to happen. Picking him up off the ground.

I don't recall that happening in the packers locker room after the NFC Championship game in 2007. not a knock against the packers, but it is pretty clear where all of favre's viking teammates stand on the notion that #4 cost them the game. They pretty much all knew without him, they would of never been there.

I'll tell you what, Rodgers sure wouldn't have choked up that ball to Tracy Porter. He's much better with ball security than Favre ever was.

Rodgers throws less interceptions in a season than Favre throws in most playoff games.

[Scott Campbell]

No it's not. I had a blast reading posts at Vikings sites after the game from the masses of their fans who said exactly that. Heck. listen to what Paul Allen (the Viking color man) said about it. He had no problem letting all of America know just how let down he was by Bert Favre choke job.

True. They would have kicked a field goal and won the SB with Rodgers.

[Scott Campbell]

Am I crazy, or do these homer announcers seem a little let down by that throw?

Letting the fans down, and letting the team down, are two different stories. And, after the initial fan reaction to what just occured... all the fans started to defend favre and began asking his return. Begging it. Teaming with radio stations to buy bill boards in his home town asking him to return.

While fans were all blaiming favre after teh game, his teammates were not. The camera's were in the lockerrom, you could witness what was happening. The team placed zero blame on brett. It was all "thank you for the ride" type stuff.

Just glance around today. People in packer nation are still solely blaiming favre for the 2007 NFC Championship game, yet most of viking nation is over it and realizing that that one play wasn't the whole game, and they want #4 back.

Maybe, but without Favre they would have had Sage or T. Jack...that doesn't really say much.

Rodgers made the same boneheaded throw against the cardinals on what, the first play of the game? Even the people who are best known for taking care of the ball make that mistake on that sort of throw. When you roll out you are really narrowing the field down, and usually the open man is a throw across your body that every QB coach says is not worth the risk.

They sure look let down to me.

Sometimes its all about timing. If Rodgers had made that throw with the Superbowl hanging in the balance, it would be WAY worse than it was. Favre timed his choke PERFECTLY.
